I've got one for pea soup that takes about ten mins from start to finish, stupidly easy to make as well, if something like that suits you, Lamb?

Hey, definitely! :) Post it! I love this sort of stuff.
My wife would love that rice dish, too--she makes rice as a snack all the time.

dont forget this one
he Nanaimo bar is a dessert item of Canadian origin popular across North America. It is a bar cookie which requires no baking and is named after the west coast city of Nanaimo, British Columbia. It consists of a wafer crumb-based layer topped by a layer of light vanilla or custard flavoured butter icing which is covered with melted chocolate made from chocolate squares. Many varieties exist, consisting of different types of crumb with different flavours of icing (e.g., mint, peanut butter) and different types of chocolate. Two popular variations on the traditional Nanaimo bar involve mint- or mocha-flavoured icing.
Contents
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
powder
1 egg, beaten
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds (optional)
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons custard powder
2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet baking
chocolate
2 teaspoons butter
Directions:
1.
In the top of a double boiler, combine 1/2 cup butter, white sugar and cocoa powder. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Beat in the egg, stirring until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the graham cracker crumbs, coconut and almonds (if you like). Press into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8 inch pan.
2.
For the middle layer, cream together 1/2 cup butter, heavy cream and custard powder until light and fluffy. Mix in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over the bottom layer in the pan. Chill to set.
3.
While the second layer is chilling, melt the semisweet chocolate and 2 teaspoons butter together over low heat. Spread over the chilled bars. Let the chocolate set before cutting into squares.

I have a buffalo chicken dip that's pretty dang good, I'll go look for the recipe & edit my post tomorrow.
-
Mmmm. Buffalo Chicken.

They call it "wing dip" here I think. Is it really spicy? If it's what I'm thinking, I would love to have a recipe for that magic.
-
You just hit 1337 posts, Jerm! Screenshot that badboy! :)

I'm hungry and dreaming about the possibilities of that buffalo chicken dip recipe. ;)
-
You just hit 1337 posts, Jerm! Screenshot that badboy! :)
I would have! If it wasn't about "wing dip" and it being magic! ;) Actually never mind, that's perfect.
-

Here is a generic buffalo sauce for wings I make.
2 cups of Franks hot sauce.
2 jalepeno peppers sliced or ground.
One can of Campbell's tomato soup.
1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
In a bowl mixed Franks and tomato soup. Add peppers. Stir in chili powder and cayenne pepper. Transfer to a pot. Simmer for 5 min. Stir gently.
Pour sauce over cooked wings. Enjoy.
P.S. For hotter wing sauce use habenero peppers.
-
Woo! Sounds yummy and spicy.
Here's the recipe for the buffalo chicken dip I make:
1 & 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (tastes better than canned or plain cooked chicken breasts)
1 8-oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup ranch dressing (I like buttermilk) OR chunky blue cheese dressing--but I think ranch tastes better
1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot buffalo wing sauce, more or less to taste
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or cheddar cheese--or a combo of all
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Stir into the melted cream cheese the dressing, buffalo sauce, chicken, and shredded cheese.
Bake in shallow 9 inch pie plate or baking dish at 350 for about 20 min until bubbly.
Then stir again and serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
I like to generally double this recipe and just bake it for ~30 min.
It's so easy a monkey can do it, yet so good...;)

1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup vanilla sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed banana (2-3 medium)

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, whisk together vanilla sugar and eggs until well combined, then whisk in the mashed banana, milk, butter and vanilla extract. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until just combined, making sure no streaks of flour remain. Pour batter out into prepared baking pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Turn loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

here is some real coffee cake
Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE:
2 cups Flour
2 cups Sugar
¼ teaspoons Salt
2 sticks Butter
3 Tablespoons Instant Coffee Crystals
½ cups Buttermilk
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 teaspoons Vanilla
_____
FOR THE ICING:
1-½ stick Butter
3/4 cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Instant Coffee Crystals
¼ teaspoons Salt
4 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two round baking pans.
In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Melt 2 sticks of butter in a pot over medium-low heat. While that’s melting, add 3 tablespoons instant coffee to 1 cup boiling water. Set aside.
Once butter has melted, add coffee mixture to the butter in the pot. Let it come to a boil for about ten seconds, then turn off the heat. Set aside for just a minute.
In a separate bowl, add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Pour the butter/coffee mixture into the flour mixture. Stir the mixture together gently. The purpose here isn’t to mix it together perfectly, but to cool down the heat before adding the egg mixture.
Add in the egg mixture and stir gently until well combined. Then pour into pans. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until set.
Allow to cool completely.
Combine all icing ingredients, then ice the cake. Chill for an hour before serving.
